BlackBerry’s official Facebook page had accidentally let slip that the Tour 9650 would be coming soon (and promptly pulled the message). If you hadn’t heard of the Essex, the 9650 will basically be an updated Tour 9630, except it will have Wi-Fi and a trackpad. The device isn’t a huge surprise, since it had been bubbling up in Verizon and Sprint inventory systems, posed for pictures, and even got a nod from Sprint’s CEO. “Check back soon” is pretty vague, but I think it’s safe to expect the new Tour to at least be announced at or by Mobile World Congress next month.
